Ok, we're about to see the release of 5.8 which is a Release

A Release Candidate is between a Beta and Production Release. Basically
they freeze everything and put out RC1 and a set of things that they

problems are found they are fixed and put into RC2. This goes on until
they feel that it will be Production quality and then release 5.8.
